Xie Zhi returned to his bedroom from the study and fell asleep.

Xie Zhi's sleep has always been good, and he will never fall asleep because of a change of place.

When I slept until midnight, a quick knock on the door came to my ears, and said, "Young master, young master..."

What Xie Zhi hates the most is this kind of thing that calls him to wake up when he is sleeping soundly.

Xie Zhi turned over from the bed and sat up, walked to the door, and opened the door angrily.

Fei Zheng, who was beside He Liang, said hurriedly: "Zhixian, the people of the Ma family came to report the case, and the pole robbed their house. ”

Xie Zhi was half sober in a daze, and asked in surprise, "Pole?" And a pole in the clouds? ”

This incident really surprised Xie Zhi.

If there are bandits in a county who can rob a family's wealth, they will inevitably report it to the imperial court.

There are indeed not a single mention of this matter in some documents in the imperial court about Yunzhong.

Fei Zheng said disdainfully: "It's just some Diao people, not a big climate, when Yang Zhixian was in office, he just grabbed some passing caravans, didn't dare to hurt people, and didn't dare to go down the mountain, Yang Zhixian couldn't bear them to lose their lives, and they have been tolerating it, and they have never reported to the court, but they have sent the officials to the mountain to Zhao'an many times, and the people don't know Yang Zhixian's good intentions, so they turn away the officials." ”

Xie Zhi also said that he walked in the clouds on the second day to understand the situation.

This was the night when something so big happened.

Xie Zhi asked angrily: "You said that when Yang Zhixian was in office, this group of people never went down the mountain?" The county has just arrived, and before it has officially taken office, this group of people has robbed people, what do you mean, do you feel that this county is easy to bully? ”

Before Fei Zheng could answer, Wang Shouren and the others walked out of their rooms one after another.

Zhu Houzhao, who came out at the end, yawned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Fei Zheng replied: "The pole of the Two Wolf Mountains has robbed the Ma family in the county!" ”

After hearing about this, Zhu Houzhao had long forgotten that they had only discussed something, and immediately said excitedly: "Are there still bandits in the clouds?" Root... A certain person wants to personally lead the troops to Ping. ”

Everyone present is estimated to be full of black lines.

Go to Ping? Is this a simple two words?

I don't know anything about the situation of the bandits, the situation in the county, so I have to lead troops to level the enemy? What if it's a trap? I don't know how to die if I lose my life.

"Master Zhu, don't be impatient, we just arrived here, and we don't know anything about the situation in the county, so let's listen to what Secretary Fei has to say?"

Zhu Houzhao was unhappy in his heart, but he did not refute it.

Xie Zhi turned his head and asked Fei Zheng, and said: "Commander Fei, this county has only arrived in the clouds, and the situation here is not known. ”

Fei Zheng didn't answer immediately, and after thinking for a while, he said: "In my opinion, let's send the officials to try to suppress it, if it goes on like this, it will be a big hidden danger in the clouds after all, and if it continues to develop from this, the assessment of Xie Zhi County will not be very good." ”

The inspection is generally started from the second official of a county, and now the two second officials are Xie Zhi's people, and Xie Zhi will still be afraid of the inspection of a mere eight-grade patrol?

Regarding Fei Zheng's words, Xie Zhi did not refute it, and said: "Okay, Fei Si Zhi knows the details of Yunzhong, so according to Fei Si Official's words, how many officials will be sent, and Fei Si and Wen Dian will discuss it, and it is a long-term strategy to suppress the bandits as soon as possible, and there is no need to notify the county of everything." ”

Xie Zhi's voice fell, and Fei Zheng said again: "Zhixian, there are many members of the Ma family, and this matter is related to his Ma family, do you want to ask him to send some family members to go with him?" ”

Xie Zhi didn't think about it, so he said: "Commander Fei, this county has no other requirements, this county only wants to be transferred back to Jingshi within three years, if it can be transferred back, this county will not forget Commander Fei, so I said..."

Xie Zhi paused, and Fei Zheng immediately said: "Yes, I understand in the next, and I only add color to the county in the next, and never discredit the county." ”

Xie Zhi yawned, turned around and approached the room, and said, "This county is sleepy, go to sleep, everyone can do their own thing." ”

Xie Zhi closed the door, sat on his bed, and gave people another bang.

Xie Zhi got up and opened the door, and it was Zhu Houzhao standing outside the door with a smile on his face.

Xie Zhi ignored him, turned around and sat back on the bed.

Zhu Houzhao closed the door, walked to Xie Zhi's side, and asked with a smile: "Xie Wu, what is your intention in arranging like this?" ”

Xie Zhi glanced at Zhu Houzhao, sighed and said: "Your Highness, this cloud is not as good as the Jingshi, although it is only a small county, but the strong dragon is the head snake, you have to be careful when you speak and act here, Your Highness comes out with the ministers, and the ministers should protect the safety of Your Highness, if Your Highness is like this in the future, then the ministers can only resign from Your Majesty." ”

If Xie Zhi didn't tell Zhu Houzhao about this earlier, who would know what kind of things this guy would do.

Hearing Xie Zhi's words, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand impatiently and said: "Okay, okay, this palace knows, how can you be like the queen mother, nagging, what is your intention in arranging it like this?" ”

Zhu Houzhao's IQ is as high as 12, but he refuses to use his intelligence for business, and when he encounters business, he refuses to even use his brain a little.

Xie Zhi glanced at Zhu Houzhao and said: "Now we can't figure out the situation in the clouds, what we are afraid of is that everything is as calm as water, and now that there is movement, isn't it easy to catch the sacred horse's feet?"

Fei Zheng's generation is no longer in the county, and tomorrow we can just inquire about the situation in the county, why not? Your Highness, go to sleep, and we'll be done with tomorrow's business." ”

Xie Zhi is not stupid, he can't go to suppress bandits as soon as he takes office, right?

This matter is done, and there is no credit for it.

Didn't listen to Fei Zheng, their former Yang Zhixian sympathized with these bandits and never made a clear conscience with the imperial court.

As soon as he took office, he went to suppress bandits, so what did he become? How will it be mixed in this cloud in the future?

If he fails, let alone receive a reprimand from the court before taking office, it will definitely become a stain on his officialdom career.

The next day, Xie Zhi got up early in the morning and went to the dining hall after washing up.

In the dining hall, except for Zhu Houzhao, Wang Shouren and others walked away.

Xie Zhi asked the cook in the county government who served them food on the side, and said, "Officials Fei, did they go to suppress the bandits overnight?" ”

The cook put down the dishes and chopsticks and replied, "Yes, I set off overnight." ”

Xie Zhi took the chopsticks, and after knowing it faintly, he didn't say much.

Until the millet porridge was brought to the table, Zhu Houzhao's voice was not seen.

Didn't this guy think that no one would care if he left Jingshi, he couldn't afford it.

Xie Zhi and He Liang on the side said: "Go and call Zhu Zhubo to get up, there is something to do today." ”

After instructing He Liang, Xie Zhi asked the cook again: "Is there anything interesting in the county?" The county only went to the clouds to go around first, and other things will be talked about later. ”

The cook's face was full of disdain for Xie Zhi, but his words were still quite respectful.

introduced the sound of dogs and horses, and said: "Although Xie Zhixian is young, you still have to be careful. ”

Xie Zhi was noncommittal to the smile that the cook knew to me.

Wang Shouren spoke on the side, and said: "Zhixian, it's better to go to the suburbs to play, this season is a good place to go out, things in the county, it's the same to come back and play." ”

Wang Shouren was wise, he said so, Xie Zhi didn't say much, and then echoed: "Okay, listen to Wang Xiancheng." ”

When Xie Zhi and the others were eating, Zhu Houzhao appeared faintly.

The rest of the people didn't speak, and Xie Zhi said, "Zhu Zhubo, come and eat, if you are late, we will leave." ”

After eating, a few people went straight to the county government and walked out.

After leaving the county office, Wang Shouren said: "The most important relationship between the people's livelihood in a county is the field, go to the suburbs, but let's talk about it first, who is in the hands of some important fertile land, the Ma family's status in the county is estimated to be very important, otherwise, how could Fei Zheng send troops on the night when the bandits robbed the Ma family?" ”

Let's just say, I'm afraid that they don't understand, as long as they act, it's not easy to grab the handle.

Xie Zhi replied: "The Ma family should really check it out. ”

The group rode horses, and after coming out of the county seat, they went straight to the suburbs.

At this time, the season is when the crops are just beginning to sprout, and the fields are mostly hoeing farmers.

Facing the loess with his back to the sky, with the sun on his head, waving his hoe.

Xie Zhi and his entourage already felt a slight sweat after just walking a few steps, not to mention how difficult it was for these farmers to work.

On the afternoon of hoeing day, only when we have truly seen the difficulties of farmers can we know how to cherish grain.
